Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Thrifty Thursday-A true collector

My dear friend Berta is a second-hand shopper extraordinaire. Last week I shared a few views of her yard and promised I’d tour the inside of her house as well.

Berta likes color and glass. And what better way to show both off but in a window. This colorful collection sits above the kitchen sink.

The fireplace was closed off years ago (I like the multi-colored brick). I think everything in this shot was bought at a thrift store or yard sale.

I call this the “ladies corner” and the only thing purchased new is the window frame with dried flowers bought at a craft show.

Berta can tell you exactly where each wonderful treasure came from, even where the yard sale was.

And I just love how she displays her treasures.

Even her bathroom window is delightful.

I sure hope to get out to do some thrift shopping soon. What treasures have you discovered? Join in by linking below.

My dear friend Berta is recovering from a shoulder replacement. So if you notice any dust, please know we call it “velvet,” and live with it.

I'm in awe of people who can see things that I can't in a yard sale. I can see great antiques that cost many bucks though. I think that's called champagne taste on a beer budget. Or something like that.

Wow -- your friend is an amazingly talented collector. I hope her shoulder is getting better. And not because of the dust -- that doesn't bother me a bit (I didn't even notice any). I have that velvet all over the house and I don't have a bad shoulder OR a lot of wonderful collections.
